Anna Kendrick is currently every Internet geek's obsession, and with good reason. Sure, she has shown her incredible range as an actor, starring in completely different critically acclaimed films, such as the Oscar-nominated Up in the Air and the surprisingly hilarious Pitch Perfect, but what really makes Kendrick so swoon-worthy is how dorky and down-to-Earth she seems. From her love for 30 Rock to her shamelessness about being a lazy bum, to her hilariously unfiltered tweets about masturbation, Kendrick seems like a genuine girl you can take shots with and watch Game of Thrones with the next day, when you guys are hungover.
